hey all....quick question about the alternator
this is actually for my beater
my car died today in the middle of the road and here're the symptoms before and after

1)before the car died, there was a whine coming from the engine that coincided with the engine speed
2)now the car will crank but won't start and all electronics still work fine.
3)there is no smoke or anything of that sort coming from the car

any idea if this is the alternator gone bad? btw the beater is a 95 integra gsr and the car is stock. thanks

whine? sounds like a belt or pulley...

but would a belt or pully cause my engine to not run?

if your alternator went bad it would have drained your battery and i dont think your electronics/lights would power up....
